Thank you for this video, I have seen several on the ninja 650, and yours is the most detailed one yet, the pace is not too fast or 2 slow, this is very much appreciated.

Tells us to get gloves, then proceeds to not use them. Gets oil on hands 😂

What is the spec for the k and n brand again please?

How about the "service" in the display? I'm planning also to DIY oil change for my ninja 650 2022 but I'm worried about the "service" in the display

[@twowheeltherapy8906]

Some online forums suggested it is a customizable option set by the dealer and can be reset via the TFT screen. I haven't had a need to use it myself though, my service notification was off in a day or so.

Can I use kn-204-1 filter for my 2016 ninja 650

[@twowheeltherapy8906]

I don't think so. KN-303 is for 2016 model as well. Go to knfilters.com/oil-filters and put in the bike info and find the recommended filter.

how many mm crush washers should I buy? (I have the 2021 Kawasaki ninja 650)

[@twowheeltherapy8906]

14 mm. Usually you can find them in local stores or amazon

[@sbaghi]

@@twowheeltherapy8906 Okay sounds good, I plan on using an OEM oil filter, so would I need an oil filter clamp, or can I place it/ remove old one, without one?

[@twowheeltherapy8906]

​@@sbaghi For the OEM Filter, you can remove it with a general tool, but I would recommend an oil filter wrench, 65mm 14 flute usually works fine, Autozone and Amazon usually carry them.
